Mario Galanti - Night Marina

Landscape has always been a central theme in artistic research, both as a setting, as a backdrop, and as a subject itself. The naturalistic depiction of landscape has been a constant aspiration for painters. Each historical period has offered its own interpretation of landscape, contributing to the evolution of its depiction: first with an exploration of space, through Brunelleschi's perspective in the early Renaissance; then with atmospheric rendering in the 16th century; up until the depiction of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism. The "seascape" in particular is a recurring theme among artists. First, for the lyricism implicit in views overlooking the sea or in romantic images of small harbors. Second, because the depiction of aquatic surfaces allows painters to give free rein to their chromatic flair, thanks to refined interplays of reflections and reverberations.

Painter Mario Galanti is very attentive to a naturalistic rendering of landscapes and possesses a confident technique that allows him to faithfully capture what he sees on canvas. His paintings capture the atmosphere perfectly, both in terms of the quality of the air and the humidity of the water. The objects depicted blend delicately with the surrounding space, thanks to a highly refined sfumato technique. The light cuts through the scene in a suggestive way, and the artist also masters the ability to diffuse the light so that the light itself creates space and depth. Mario Galanti's works are also highly balanced in terms of composition.

Painter Mario Galanti was born in Naples in 1923. His style is based on a reinterpretation of the classic 19th-century Neapolitan landscape, filtered through a more dreamlike and dreamy vision. He is famous for his marine nocturnes and scenes of returning from fishing.
